Building Grade

Upgrade or downgrade an entire connected building in one action, with optional grade and block-type filters.

Details

#

Look at any connected building and use quick commands to raise or lower the grade for all attached blocks. You can target a specific grade (for example, 2 for stone or 3 for metal) or apply a one-step change relative to each block’s current grade.

Filters let you act only on certain block types, such as walls, floors, or foundations.

Access:

• /bgrade is available to Ember, Chaos, Phantom, and Shade.
• /up and /down are available to Chaos, Phantom, and Shade.

Commands

#

• /up [grade] [filter] or /up [filter] - Upgrade attached blocks by one grade or to a chosen grade. Examples: /up, /up 2, /up 1 wall, /up wall
• /down [grade] [filter] or /down [filter] - Downgrade attached blocks by one grade or to a chosen grade. Examples: /down, /down 1, /down 1 wall, /down wall
• /up and /down - Affect the single connected building you are looking at (fast and ignores nearby disconnected bases).
• /upall and /downall - Affect everything physically touching from the look point (can span multiple buildings and may be slower on very large builds).
• /bgrade - Tier access command (Ember, Chaos, Phantom, Shade).

Tips and Tricks

#

• Use filters (for example, wall or foundation) to avoid changing stability-critical pieces you are still designing.
• For very large bases, prefer /up and /down over /upall and /downall to keep actions scoped to a single base.
• Double-check TC resources before mass upgrades to avoid partial grade mixes.
